security light comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the

undamaged, try another transmitter. Or, you
may try placing the transmitter in the rear

restraint, and pull up or push the head

36 Seats and Restraints
.Raise or lower the front part of the seat
cushion by moving the front of the
horizontal control up or down.
.Raise or lower the entire seat by moving
the entire horizontal control up or down.
Reclining Seatbacks
{Warning
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the seat belts
cannot do their job.
The shoulder belt will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front of
you. In a crash, you could go into it,
receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there,
not at your pelvic bones. This could cause
serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit well back in the seat and wear
the seat belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if the
vehicle is moving.
To adjust the seatback:
.Tilt the top of the control rearward to
recline.
.Tilt the top of the control forward to
raise.
Memory Seats
If equipped, memory seats allow two drivers
to save and recall their unique seat positions
for driving the vehicle, and a shared exit
position for getting out of the vehicle. Other
feature positions may also be saved, such as
power mirrors and power steering wheel,
if equipped. Memory positions are linked to
RKE transmitter 1 or 2 for automatic
memory recalls.
